Elev8 Brands Inc (OTCMKTS: VATE) is struggling for direction after bouncing off the lower end of a tight trading range. With the stock still engulfed in a long-term bear trend, amidst surging short selling pressure, new groundbreaking catalysts may have to come into play to avert further slides.
VATE Price Analysis
The $0.03 mark is a technical support level that the stock needs to hold on to if it is to have any chance of bouncing back after experiencing wild swings in recent months. One of the developments that could prop the stock’s market sentiments is the confirmation that Elev8 Brands is making an entry into the beverage market with ready to drink CBD-infused iced coffee.
The company has also unveiled a newly redesigned website, featuring an incredible product line as it seeks to embark on an aggressive e-commerce drive. Expansion into new markets in pursuit of new opportunities for sales of a refurbished product line is another development that affirms the company’s long-term prospects after a rollercoaster 2018.
Amidst the flurry of positive developments, it awaits to be seen if the stock will hold on to the $0.03 support level. Above the critical technical level, Elev8 Brands remains well positioned to bottom out and make a run for the $0.04 level, the next substantial resistance level.

A rally followed by a close above the $0.04 mark could give bulls, still on the fence, a reason to come in and continue pushing the stock up as part of the emerging uptrend. Conversely, a plunge below the $0.03 support level could result in the stock plunging even further, in continuation of the descending bear trend line.
